to-day sir edward holden managing director of the bank said that of 1,160,000,000 of the sold which had flowed into america up to tho end of 1916 about 1,070 000.000 represented the amount con tributed by the entente allies to form the oasis of loans of the total foreign loans of amer ica since the beginning of the war aggregating about 2,-00,000,000 he said 2,115,000,000 were borrowed by j england and her allies the amount of gold required for reserve on tliis basis he added would be only 3.5,000,000 and there fore 715,000,000 of the allies gold had been used for some other pur : i pose

collateral security for new loans sir edward estimated gold in the iteichbank now is 630,0.0,000 which gave germany a percentage of 15.7 while great britain had 405,000,000 000 gold giving her a percentage of 22 it looked said sir edward as though great britain was keeping up her end pretty well on the basis of the 15 per cent re serve required by the american | banking system sir edward argues i that the entente allies by the amount ! of gold they had sent to the united j states during the war were entitled i to a loan up to 7,000,000,000 but that they had received under 2,159 |

at least to make a statement of the aims ot the central powers to counteract the allies answer to president wilson and also to announce further steps toward the unification of the central j powers it is learned in a reliable quarter that the kaiser intends to pool all the economic and military resources of the central powers for the purpose of obtaining man power and production and distribution of foodstuffs with a common military and economic front lt is said the kaiser intends to go so far as to create a central federa tion of states under german hegemony extending from hamburg to bagdad as to the organization of this gigantic plan one writer says that the military command of the central armies will rest solely w-ith von hindenburg and the combined economic affairs will be administered by representative committees working from one center italy faces new crisis in demands for peace by camillo cianfara pe_ial correspondent of the international veivs service rome jan 10 by mail â€” the political crisis through which italy is now moving lias no equal in the annual of the kingdom the sit uation is further complicated by the fact that the last sittings of the chamber of deputies revealed a strong current in favor of peace as well as a strong determination of every party not to accept so long as a square foot of italian territory remained under austrian rule even the socialist leader did not dare to insist on a peace that would not perma nently settle the question of nationality signor torati the socialist leader made perhaps the strongest plea for peace that was ever heard in any one of the belligerent nations parliaments addressing the few xa ionalists who insisted on a flat rejection of the german overtures signor torati said a government that dared refuse to discuss this would be guilty of treason the country i its even if i enter the with h the bringing h after three ft i war ' i '." i a theh it i then it is talk i who â– i i our cer-b help owii i h ' :; i are the newspa i reports are _â€¢-â– the germany â– she ** ot i time for us to talk peace if she wins it would be germany's turn to refuse our invitation even if you were sure ar.d you know you a-re not that you could really win with the help of time do you believe a further military ! success would be worth the new sacrifices and the new devasta tions my idea is that even by accepting the most optimistic hypo thesis the new victories will cost } more than what they vvill be worth the impression produced by this speech was great baron sonnino was not enthusiastically cheered as has been reported in the english press because he took a firm stand against ! the pacifists but because he said that italy would discuss the gorman peace proposals if they were serious enough and did not offend the dignity of the natiou russia officially favors president's speech on peace petrograd jan 26 the for eign office to-day gave out the fol lowing statement expressing the of ficial russian view of president wil son's peace speech russia always has been in full bympathy with the broad humani tarian principles expressed by the president of the united states and his message to the senate there fore has made a most favorable impression upon the russian gov ernment russia will welcome all suitable measures which will help prevent a recurrence of the world war accordingly we can gladly lndorse president wilson's commu nication the russian government notes with satisfaction that pr^sidenl wilson makes a sharp contrast be tween l_p definite reply of the en tente allies to his first communlca i tion and the evasive note of the central powers as to the nature of the peace to be concluded whether it be a peace i without victory or not one should ; remember that it never has been i the aim of the allies to crush their | enemies and that they have never ; insisted upon victory in that sense i over germany frick pays 200,000 for boucher's works jby international news servicf ! new

political crisis through which italy is now moving lias no equal in the annual of the kingdom the sit uation is further complicated by the fact that the last sittings of the chamber of deputies revealed a strong current in favor of peace as well as a strong determination of every party not to accept so long as a square foot of italian territory remained under austrian rule even the socialist leader did not dare to insist on a peace that would not perma nently settle the question of nationality signor torati the socialist leader made perhaps the strongest plea for peace that was ever heard in any one of the belligerent nations parliaments addressing the few xa ionalists who insisted on a flat rejection of the german overtures signor torati said a government that dared refuse to discuss

that you could really win with the help of time do you believe a further military ! success would be worth the new sacrifices and the new devasta tions my idea is that even by accepting the most optimistic hypo thesis the new victories will cost } more than what they vvill be worth the impression produced by this speech was great baron sonnino was not enthusiastically cheered as has been reported in the english press because he took a firm stand against ! the pacifists but because he said that italy would discuss the gorman peace proposals if they were serious enough and did not

view of president wil son's peace speech russia always has been in full bympathy with the broad humani tarian principles expressed by the president of the united states and his message to the senate there fore has made a most favorable impression upon the russian gov ernment russia will welcome all suitable measures which will help prevent a recurrence of the world war accordingly we can gladly lndorse president wilson's commu nication the russian government notes with satisfaction that pr^sidenl wilson makes a sharp contrast be tween l_p definite reply of the en tente allies to his first
